Description:
It is 12km from Hanamkonda; this fort was built during the 13th century by the Kakatiya king Ganapati Deva and his daughter Rudramma. Warangal's main attraction is the enormous, abandoned mud-brick fort, which has a terrific atmosphere and many interesting features. Carved atones from wrecked Chalukyan temples are set indiscriminately in the massive stonewalls which form a distinct fortification almost a km inside the outer mud walls. The remains of four huge stone gateways, similar to those of Sanchi and several exquisite pieces of sculpture can be seen. Rich, intricate sculpture on walls, pillars, brackets and ceilings will captivate you.
